pouch type bag

[Asavva]

A friend requested a chrome tan bag in the style of a dice pouch I'd made before.

Wasn't able to find any other larger bags like this, so just sized up the pouch and added a handle.

This is my fourth leatherworking project, and I'm reasonably happy with how the design turned out, even if the stitching and edges are a bit off in places.

 

I'd love to hear some feedback or suggestions that I could try if I decide to make this again.

Yeah, and maybe a inside pocket or two.  My wife loves pockets.  I don't know why.  She spends most of the time looking for something lost in the main body???   As usual, JM2C.

That is a nice bag! 

@jrdunnHow would you put inside pockets into a pouch bag? Would it not affect the shape?

I agree, nice work. And pockets

 

@SUP If the pockets are smallish, individual and kept low they'll not affect the draw string closure

I like it, it's a good-looking design. Maybe not pockets but a divider or two across between the stitch lines. Nice work.

Fredk's advice is sound.  I also expect they'd also need to be thin and flexible, like the lining.  I'm not sure that it wouldn't need to be fabric of some sort.  Satin or synthetic of some sort, maybe?  Sup, I did only claim that it was 2 cents worth.

Nice, the colors and the hardware make a very classy bag. The work is beautiful.

I am planning a draw type bag for SWMBO, I was thinking at least one loop for one of these key ring clips

and some sort of hanging pouch for cell phone. OR, cell phone pouch, with ring for one of those key ring hooks! so a loop in the bag on each side.

You guys are great!  You start with a great looking bag and just keep enhancing it.  I wasn't looking to make one of these but y'all are getting me in the mood.
